Downstairs, Winnie called out to Jacinta, and to Xavier’s chagrin, she went into the building with Christopher.

Xavier’s face darkened instantly.

He left his house and went into the elevator with his wheelchair.

Ever since he discovered that Winnie had faked her condition, Xavier had always felt conflicted. He wanted to know all her secrets—every single one of them—yet he knew that Winnie had an ego, and was opinionated, so he had been waiting for her to open up to him on her own, but what he learned that day was the last straw.

Yes, I lied to her, but that lie is nothing compared to hers! It’s not like I have a choice, and that’s not the case for her! How could she hide the fact that she’s staying downstairs from me? Does she even care about me? Does she take our relationship for a game?

Over in another elevator, Christopher seemed uncomfortable about going to Winnie’s place. “I think I should go back. This is my first time seeing your granny, but I didn’t bring a gift with me.”

“It’s fine,” Winnie assured. “Granny doesn’t care about all this. She’s very hospitable. She would shout at me until everyone in this building heard her if she found out I didn’t bring you with me. I hope you don’t mind her character.”

“I don’t mind, of course. It’s nice having a lively and energetic person at home.”

“I guess. It does get lonely if the house is too quiet. Anyway, we’re here.”

Ding! The elevator stopped as soon as Winnie spoke.
